KAVA ( Piper methysticum ) - A REVIEW The Kava plant (Piper methysticum) is a robust, well-branching and erect perennial shrub belonging to the pepper family (Piperaceae). The botanical origin remains unknown, although it is likely that early Polynesian explorers brought the plant with them from island to island. Numerous varieties of Kava exist, and today it is widely cultivated in several Pacific Island countries both for local use as well as the rapidly growing demand for pharmaceutical preparations. The dried rhizomes (roots) are normally used. The first description to the western world of the ceremonial use of an intoxicating beverage prepared from Kava was made by Captain James Cook following his Pacific voyage in 1768. The drink, prepared as an infusion in an elaborate manner after first chewing the root, is consumed on formal occasions or meetings of village elders and chiefs, as well as in reconciling with enemies and on a more social basis. It remains an important social custom in many Pacific Island countries today. Most of the islands of the Pacific possessed Kava prior to European contact, particularly those encompassed by Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. After drinking the Kava beverage a pleasantly relaxed and sociable state develops, after which a deep and restful sleep occurs. -

YEREVAN STATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY AFTER M. HERATSI DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY Balasanyan M.G. Zhamharyan A.G. Afrikyan Sh. G. Khachaturyan M.S. Manjikyan A.P. MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY HANDOUT for the 3-rd-year pharmacy students (part 2) YEREVAN 2017 Analgesic Agents Agents that decrease pain are referred to as analgesics or as analgesics. Pain relieving agents are also called antinociceptives. An analgesic may be defined as a drug bringing about insensibility to pain without loss of consciousness. Pain has been classified into the following types: physiological, inflammatory, and neuropathic. Clearly, these all require different approaches to pain management. The three major classes of drugs used to manage pain are opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and non opioids with the central analgetic activity. Narcotic analgetics The prototype of opioids is Morphine. Morphine is obtained from opium, which is the partly dried latex from incised unripe capsules of Papaver somniferum. The opium contains a complex mixture of over 20 alkaloids. Two basic types of structures are recognized among the opium alkaloids, the phenanthrene (morphine) type and the benzylisoquinoline (papaverine) type (see structures), of which morphine, codeine, noscapine (narcotine), and papaverine are therapeutically the most important. The principle alkaloid in the mixture, and the one responsible for analgesic activity, is morphine. Morphine is an extremely complex molecule. In view of establish the structure a complicated molecule was to degrade the: compound into simpler molecules that were already known and could be identified. For example, the degradation of morphine with strong base produced methylamine, which established that there was an N-CH3 fragment in the molecule. -

Endocrine Disrupting Compounds and Prostate Cell Proliferation
Review Article Clinics in Oncology Published: 18 Oct, 2016 Endocrine Disrupting Compounds and Prostate Cell Proliferation Joubert Banjop Kharlyngdoh and Per-Erik Olsson* Department of Biology, Örebro University, Sweden Abstract Epidemiological, in vitro and animal studies have indicated that Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs) influence the normal growth and development of the prostate as well as development and progression of prostate cancer. This has been linked to an increased presence of environmental chemicals that interfere with hormonal signaling. Many of these effects appear to be associated with interferences with steroid hormone receptor signaling or by affecting steroidogenesis. Currently, there is abundant evidence from epidemiological studies linking pesticides and EDCs with elevated prostate cancer risk. Bisphenol-A, a known EDC, has been shown to promote induction of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), which is a biomarker for prostate cancer, in the LNCaP human prostate carcinoma cells, and to increase prostate carcinogenesis in animal models. Our research has focused on AR signaling and identification of novel androgenic and anti-androgenic EDCs. Using prostate cancer cell lines we have shown that the AR agonist, TBECH, and antagonist ATE, which is also a partial ART877A agonist, induce PSA expression. With the increasing presence of these EDCs in indoor and outdoor air, follows an increased risk of disturbed prostate development, regulation and function. Hence, identification of the contribution of EDCs to prostate cancer -
